Patron Tiers Revamp: Video Commissions (Patreon)

Hello all,

In our continuing quest to make our Patreon platform more rewarding to your generosity (starting with last month's tier-revamp), Red and I wanted to ask everyone for feedback about the way we do video commissions.

As it stands, anyone can pledge $100, and so long as their topic is in line with the tone and content our channel, we'll do it. However, in practice, we've seen $100 patrons come and go, commissioning a video and not sticking around for very long. We definitely get it, $100 is a lot of money, but we feel that this system may be indirectly unfair to longtime patrons who have pledged at the $20, $10, or even $5 for months and years but haven't been awarded that opportunity.

As a solution, we considered the option of instead awarding a video commission to any patron, regardless of tier, whose lifetime pledges exceed $1,000 — That's about a year's worth of weekly $20 pledges (or a season's worth of weekly $100 pledges).

So we put the question to you, our patrons: How would you like us to handle video commissions?  We recognize this doesn't affect everybody, but we'd like to hear everyone's thoughts.

Cheers,

-Blue
